What changes them is a mystery to me. Various things. Don't worry about it too much, although you might want to mark the ports you settle on as modem ports in /etc/rc.serial. > * I added these records to /etc/ttys: > ttyD00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup on insecure > ttyD01 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup on insecure > ttyD02 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup on insecure > ttyD03 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup on insecure > ttyD04 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup off insecure > ttyD05 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup off insecure > ttyD06 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup off insecure > ttyD07 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup off insecure > #cuaD00 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup on insecure > cuaD01 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup on insecure > cuaD02 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup on insecure > cuaD03 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup on insecure > cuaD04 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup off insecure > cuaD05 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup off insecure > cuaD06 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup off insecure > cuaD07 "/usr/libexec/getty std.57600" dialup off insecure > cuaD00 "/usr/local/sbin/mgetty" dialup on insecure That's stupid 8). Why do you have gettys on both the dialin and dialout ports? > I got a suggestion to use mgetty instead of getty, so I compiled and > installed it from the ports area. As you can see, I'm testing one of both > (cuaD00 as mgetty and cuaD01 as getty). mgetty sucks (IMHO). Avoid it unless you're doing something special. You want to run a normal getty on the dialin (ttyD) port _only_. You will also want to make sure your modems are configured correctly. In particular, you want DCD-follows-carrier, no echo, no result codes. Something like at&c0e0q1&w will work for most Rockwell-based modems (note that c0/c1 varies, check your modem manual for the right sense for yours.) -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
